- Abstract: A fundamental result in modern quantum chaos theory is the
Maldacena-Shenker-Stanford upper bound on the growth of out-of-time-order
correlators, whose infinite-temperature limit is related to the operator-space
entanglement entropy of the evolution operator. Here we show that, for
one-dimensional quantum cellular automata (QCA), there exists a lower bound on
quantum chaos quantified by such entanglement entropy. This lower bound is
equal to twice the index of the QCA, which is a topological invariant that
measures the chirality of information flow, and holds for all the R\'enyi
entropies, with its strongest R\'enyi-$\infty$ version being tight. The
rigorous bound rules out the possibility of any sublinear entanglement growth
behavior, showing in particular that many-body localization is forbidden for
unitary evolutions displaying nonzero index. Since the R\'enyi entropy is
measurable, our findings have direct experimental relevance. Our result is
robust against exponential tails which naturally appear in quantum dynamics
generated by local Hamiltonians.

single, two-level trapped ion [48.7576911714538]
In two-level quantum systems - qubits - unitary dynamics theoretically limit these quantum correlations to $2qrt2$ or 1.5 respectively.
Here, using a dissipative, trapped $40$Ca$+$ ion governed by a two-level, non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, we observe correlation values up to 1.703(4) for the Leggett-Garg parameter $K_3$.
These excesses occur across the exceptional point of the parity-time symmetric Hamiltonian responsible for the qubit's non-unitary, coherent dynamics.

Dual-unitary circuits are a class of locally-interacting quantum many-body systems.
In particular, they admit a class of solvable" initial states for which, in the thermodynamic limit, one can access the full non-equilibrium dynamics.
We show that in this case the entanglement increment during a time step is sub-maximal for finite times, however, it approaches the maximal value in the infinite-time limit.

We study if the quantum null energy condition restricts irreversible entropy production in quenches driven by energy-momentum inflow from an infinite memoryless bath in two-dimensional holographic theories.
We find that an increase in both entropy and temperature, as implied by the Clausius inequality of classical thermodynamics, are necessary but not sufficient to not violate QNEC in quenches.
